- The US Army Office of the Program Manager Close Combat Systems (OPMCCS),Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 is conducting a Market Survey to identify potential sources to provide contractor logistics support (CLS) in Afghanistan to the XM7 Spider Network Command Munition (an anti-personnel Munition System). The Government has sixty-six systems in country. The Spider system currently in production meets the Presidents Anti-Personnel Landmine (APL) policy with regards to Non-Self Destruct/Self-Destruct APL. Spider is a stand-alone weapon system consisting of three main hardware components: a Remote Control Station (RCS), a Repeater for extended communications, and a Munition Control Unit (MCU), capable of containing up to six individual Miniature Grenade Launchers (MGLs). Spider is compatible with the U.S. Army battlefield key management infrastructure and the Navy Electronic Key Management System (EKMS). Spider meets the COMSEC and Transmission Security (TRANSEC) requirements contained in the Spider Security Policy. Spider is currently using removable media compatible with the Force XXI Battle Command Battalion/Brigade and Below (FBCB2), an indirect interface. The Government requires uninterrupted OCONUS Contingency Operation CLS support in combat operations for the duration of deployment. Interested contractors must have the necessary equipment and skills to maintain Spider systems and meet our program CLS requirements.
